    The code for kbin was completely stolen from a trans women

    Raddle it’s what was stolen to make kbin

    Raddle is open source. You literally cannot steal open source code (unless you violate the GPL, which kbin doesn’t), open source code is meant to be borrowed.

      Edit: It looks like the license issues has not been solved yet even though the author of postmill reported the issue about two months ago, for more info see here: https://raddle.me/f/fediverse/170274/a-reminder-that-kbin-is-still-violating-the-zlib-license-of

      The original post is exaggerating (not all the Kbin code is stolen code), but the Kbin creator used code from a different open source project without any attribution, so for a while it was, to an extent, similar to “stolen code”. Last I checked, the issue was resolved ~amicably, the kbin person provided attribution, and the original creator was satisfied (although I did read her say she was discouraged from continuing her project because she would have appreciated contributions to hers, instead of forking/not attributing).
